Palate

This wine come from South West Australia in the Margaret River region, characterized by its Mediterranean climate and strong maritime influences. The name comes from the antiquated nautical term for the source of drinking water on sea-going vessels. Just like water cooler talk in your office, the word "skuttlebutt" has become synonymous with gossip. As such, this is a perfect wine for catching up with friends.

The grapes in this wine are traditionally blended in Bordeaux. The Sémillon provides the body and weight, as well as its ripe tropical fruit character, while the Sauvignon Blanc provides the acid backbone and lift to keep it from being too heavy. Like oil and vinegar on your salad, it's the perfect combination and a reason this classic blend is repeated throughout the world.
